A new microfluidic chip integrated with 120 parallelmicrobial suspension culture units is demonstrated. Various bacterial strains and even yeast can be cultivated on the chip. With a high degree of integration and simple fabrication process, this chip could be a central component for future high-throughput microbial screening and selection systems
